Working with Sarah and Mike to buy my first home in Sydney was super helpful in a few ways.

Firstly, not having grown up in AU, they helped educate me on the market and process of buying with much more confidence.
Secondly, having Sarah come to viewings with me was also super helpful as her experienced eyes saw different things to mine. She could see the potential and risks in a property that I wouldn't have necessarily caught.
Thirdly, having someone like Mike conduct the due diligence on the market value, identify any potential risks with the property, etc. increased my confidence in purchasing the most expensive thing i'll ever have to purchase in my life!
Lastly, they have a strong network of people they recommend. We ended up working with their recommended solicit and mortgage broker, and having them all as an experienced team that knew each other made the process much more efficient and painless.

thanks again, Sarah and Mike, for all your help, your flexibility, and your commitment to supporting buyers in what could be a very overwhelming process.

We cannot recommend Sarah Kaye & Co enough because there is no option for 6 stars. In the end, they helped us secure a wonderful property under our 'walk-away price', exceeding all expectations.

We initially tried to do everything ourselves, coming to them fresh off a very unpleasant solo attempt to secure a different home. That prior ordeal involved a long, drawn-out, and extremely draining negotiation that almost ended with us paying a few percent above our absolute limit, followed by a last-minute surprise regarding the property's condition right before signing. Luckily, we realized just in time that it simply wasn't worth it and walked away.

That was the moment we realized we needed a buyer's agent, mainly because we were both time-poor and inexperienced. To be completely honest, we were still initially sceptical, particularly around incentives of buyer's agents in general. We researched a few options and eventually settled on Mike and Sarah because they are a director-led, and agile firm; we wanted a hands-on approach and didn't want to be just another number.

Mike and Sarah led us through the entire process from start to finish. I spoke to Mike personally almost every day. I found him to be resourceful, energetic, and intelligent.

During due diligence, Mike was incredibly versatile and knowledgeable, ensuring the process was comprehensive in scope. No concern of mine was too big or too small for him to investigate. He provided me with the tools and information to understand and weigh every possible risk before moving forward.

When it came to negotiations, that was where Mike truly shined; standing in stark contrast to our previous solo experience. It was an absolute masterclass. Suffice to say, you definitely want Mike on your side, and I certainly wouldn't want to go up against him!

Having just secured our first home, we are no longer sceptical at all about the value of a buyer's agent because of our experience with this particular buyer's agent. If you're on the fence or suspect it might be worth it, just give them a call.

Thanks again, Mike and Sarah.

We engaged the services of Mike and Sarah as we were looking to buy our first home while living overseas before returning home. We wanted someone who knew the Northern Beaches and would help us avoid any pitfalls of the area and buying houses in general. Initially we went with them because they gave off a vibe that they were honest, trustworthy and cared that we ended up with a property that we loved. We found that held true throughout the whole process.

They are a great team and bring complementary skill sets. Sarah brings a wealth of experience from the real estate industry. She was able to extract from us what we were looking for in a property and was excellent at steering the ship when we became indecisive. Mike provided thorough analysis throughout and presented it in an easily digestible format. From market/suburb analysis through to property valuation, he made us feel confident in the financial decision we were making.

In the end we got a property that met our needs and budget all the while feeling like we got good value for our money.

Sarah and Mike are the finest buyers agents we have come across in Sydney. From the very outset they established themselves as our trusted advisors for our property search. Their insights were invaluable and they truly balances their advice across the financial considerations (capital growth, improvement upside etc) with the more immeasurable considerations (proximity to schools, local amenities etc). For our entire search we never felt pressured or out of control of the process - Sarah and Mike were with us 100% of the way. And when it came down to deal execution once we had found our ideal property, both Sarah and Mike leaped into action to help us to complete all due diligence needed and secure the property within our target budget. We never once felt pressured to go higher unnecessarily and both of them were a phone call away at any stage. It has been a great experience. We have found our dream home and Sarah and Mike will be considered lifelong friends. Thank you both - we will always highly recommend your services to anybody looking for an edge in Sydney's highly competitive property market.

Sarah and Mike are an absolute delight to work with. They helped me find my first home on the upper north shore recently, and kept me informed and supported every step of the way through the process from finding the property, to getting it insured after completion. I am currently working in the UK so they were my main eyes and ears in Sydney. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We had been searching for a long time to find the right waterfront home in Palm Beach / Whale Beach, and found it very difficult to make a decision. Choosing Sarah Kaye & Co. as our Northern Beaches buyers agent was the best decision for our family. We already own a property on the North Shore, and we selected them because they are a leading buyers agent across both the North Shore and Northern Beaches. Their strong experience helping North Shore owners secure properties on the Northern Beaches made the whole transition seamless, and they truly understood the journey and the type of property and lifestyle we were looking for.

The Sarah Kaye & Co. team were patient, professional and very knowledgeable throughout the process. Sarah, Mike and the wider team found us a stunning waterfront property on the Whale Beach cliffs with magnificent water views. What impressed us most was their strategic advice — they looked not only at the home for today but also for the future, identifying strong development potential based on neighbouring approved builds closer to the cliff line, which is very rare in this area.

They acted very quickly when the property became available, communicated directly with the agent, negotiated strongly against other interested buyers and successfully secured the property for us. We are extremely happy and very grateful for their guidance and support. If you are looking for a Northern Beaches buyers agent or a Palm Beach buyers agent, we highly recommend the Sarah Kaye & Co. team.
